The founders of Ukrainian eco-startup Effa, Ilya Kichuk (L), Konstantin Scherbina and Dasha Kichuk, pose for a photograph. Effa has created a first-of-its-kind toothbrush made entirely from nature-friendly recyclable materials.
Ukrainian startup Effa, which creates nature-friendly toothbrushes, has attracted $500,000 of investment and is now valued at $3.5 million, its cofounder Dasha Kichuk said on April 12.
The money came from a Ukrainian private investor who doesn’t reveal his name to avoid requests for financing from other startups, Kichuk told the Kyiv Post.
